Modern teams depend on structured knowledge systems to operate efficiently, reduce redundancy, and preserve institutional knowledge. However, effective knowledge bases are not static—they require thoughtful design, consistent structure, and ongoing evaluation to remain useful and scalable. In this project, you will act as an IT Manager responsible not only for building a centralized team knowledge base, but also for evaluating and improving its effectiveness. You will integrate key knowledge management practices, including taxonomy design, content structuring, template creation, documentation standards, and system evaluation into a cohesive solution. Rather than working with isolated concepts, you will design, build, and assess a complete knowledge base that reflects how teams organize, maintain, and improve information systems in real-world environments. Your final deliverable will be a structured knowledge base along with a brief evaluation summary that explains your design decisions, identifies improvement opportunities, and outlines how the system will be maintained over time.
